The Navy advertises AIRR as a “Special Operations” position, but from what I read online, it looks like only the AWS rate has an occasional SOF mission set. Can anyone offer some insight on this? My recruiter told me there’s 2 AIRR rates that are available to reservists, and if it is a SOF...

If I earned (basic) airborne wings/parachutist badge in the Army, can I wear them in the Navy, and where is the proper placement. The basic parachutist badge specifically, I don’t have the pre-reqs for the Navy specific wings.

I’m currently in a placeholder rate as the Chief called it as MMS(Machinist Mate Submarine). However my goal is to pass the Dive PT quals to sign a Diver contract. My reason for coming to shadow spear is largely to gain advice on training regiments to be able to do so. At 12yrs old I was...

Hello all, As I've been been perusing various information sources on the Navy SARC pipeline, I ran into possibly eye opening comments on becoming a SARC. Multiple comments stated that they were either Corpsman or in the Marine Corps and knew of SARC hopefuls that said you cannot recycle any...

If someone could enlighten me I've been doing my reaserch but have found little info on what SAR corpsman do (I know the basics...), I guess I'm just confused if they work more for civilians or more in the combat side? All info is appreciated thanks.
